Pauline Says: This is incredible, I don’t know what to say, you have given me my 92nd award and made me the most celebrated black woman in Europe. I appreciate you for seeing my struggles and honouring me in public. Ok, let me stop here before I get too emotional. Thank you, thank you, thank you #back2blackawards. People like you make it easy for us to carry on doing what we do in the community and fund community projects. Thank you. God bless you and may you keep celebrating people in a community where people do so much but few are genuinely appreciated. Dr. Pauline Long
